De Graafschap's away form has been far less settled. Within the same stretch they beat Heracles 5-0 and Den Bosch 1-0, but also lost to Almere City, Jong AZ, Emmen and NAC Breda. Over their last 20 fixtures they've picked up just 6 wins against 11 losses, shipping 53 goals along the way.

Volendam's attacking form looks more consistent than De Graafschap's leaky defensive record.
